Durham Web Design Case Study: Shaheen’s Indian Restaurant
When I was approached to develop a new website for Shaheen’s Indian Restaurant in Durham, owner Tabbasum had recently lost both her original website and domain following a dispute with her previous hosting provider. For a business with such a long-standing reputation in the city—over 30 years serving authentic Indian cuisine—this was a significant setback.
We began by focusing on what mattered most: making the restaurant visible and accessible again. The new site was designed with a clean, modern structure that highlighted the restaurant’s history, menus, and contact details. I implemented a mobile-friendly layout, intuitive navigation and clear calls to action so customers could easily explore the menu, book a table or find opening hours.
Looking back, this project wasn’t just about creating a website—it was about restoring control to the business owner after a difficult experience. Today, the website not only supports the restaurant’s continued success but also reflects Tabbasum’s dedication to her customers and her restaurant’s enduring reputation in Durham. Her food is pretty amazing too!😋
